De-Extinction of the Nephilim. A Short Story. Ebook

"De-Extinction of the Nephilim" by J.F. Penn immerses readers in a gripping tale woven with mystery and intrigue. Set against the ancient marvels of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, archaeologist Dr. Emilia Kaya unearths a sarcophagus buried deep within the earth. Penn masterfully paints vivid scenes of the archaeological site, invoking a palpable sense of wonder and historical richness.

The story takes a thrilling turn when an earthquake disrupts Emilia's exploration, leaving her with only a single bone from the sarcophagus. This bone becomes the linchpin of the narrative, leading Emilia to send it for analysis, setting off an unexpected chain of events.

Penn's narrative prowess shines through in her ability to blend scientific curiosity with ancient mythos, crafting an atmospheric setting that pulls readers into the heart of Emilia's discoveries. The rich descriptions not only bring Göbekli Tepe to life but also evoke a sense of the uncanny as the mystery surrounding the bone deepens.

"De-Extinction of the Nephilim" is a captivating exploration of archaeological intrigue and the blurred lines between science and mythology. Penn's skillful storytelling and vivid imagery make this short story a compelling read.

FASCINATING!

“…but what were they really doing if not playing god?”

Suspenseful Plot!
De-Extinction, a politically correct way to describe Resurrection. A disguised version to not bring up the wrath of any religious group.
A short but compact engrossing story with an interesting psychological depth, compelling conflict resolution within the characters’ dynamics, moved by typical human traits to achieve their goals and be recognised in their respective jobs.

“Frontier science plucked species from the oblivion of extinction, hauled them into the present where they no longer belonged. Who could know the impact of such a reversal? The dangers of meddling with nature’s course is intimidating, to say the least.”

A gripping, heart pounding, exciting and intense hair raising storytelling! A somewhat unexpected revelation with a sudden turn of events bringing up a twisted and unpredictable ending! I was left with wanting more!
I’d love this short story converted into a novel, because the story needs to be told fully. It is a fascinating read!

“Devler. If you wake them, the flood must come again.”
“The Watchers and the Nephilim. As it is written in the Book of Enoch.”

I received an ARC from the author to read and review.
What an amazing story. I don't know how she puts so much intensity into a short story, but she does it every time.
A historical and terrifying find that could lead to the destruction of the earth, and why, sometimes, if you can do a thing, doesn't mean you should.
Loved it.

I received ARC for this book. As usual Ms. Penn didn’t let us down. This is a great read. Definitely an interesting find at the dig site! Something I haven’t heard of! My only problem with it is that it wasn’t a longer story. I enjoyed it.

JF has a way of marrying archeology to the modern day that I have rarely seen. This book transports to the land of sand, stone and rubble known as Göbelli Tepe and makes you feel like you are looking over Emilia’s shoulder. I am a huge fan of Jo’s writing and this one does not disappoint!
